From Library Journal:

Parcells, head coach of the New England Patriots football team and two-time Super Bowl victor as coach of the New York Giants, has written a book about leadership using his experiences in sports. Parcells attempts to demonstrate that lessons learned in a life of football are relevant to successful leadership in business. He devotes separate chapters to loyalty, flexibility, accountability, preparedness, and humility. He sums up each lesson nicely in a little anecdote drawn from a professional football game or sometimes a high school basketball game. Much of his book touts common sense, devotion to hard work, teamwork, and personal responsibility. One can almost hear Parcells in the locker room, motivating his players with just the right mixture of praise and criticism. For readers who are or would be leaders, this book is worthwhile. It would also help if they knew a little bit about football. Recommended for all public libraries.?Randy L. Abbott, Univ. of Evansville Libs., Ind.
